OT November Chit Chat

[Virginia]

Agate, do some people stay logged in on here all the time?

[Howie]

Virginia, I do.

[Virginia]

Howie, your name doesn't show at the bottom of the page.

[agate]

Virginia, my guess is that Howie has opted to stay "invisible." He can be logged in here constantly but nobody would know it.

I'm here most of my waking hours but turn the PC off at night and so my name wouldn't show up at the bottom of the page at those times.

Some of the users who show up as logged in are total mysteries to me. There have been inquiries about them in the past but never a satisfactory answer.

In the last few days we lost about 100-200 of our usual people who show up as being here, but I see that they're back now.

Or maybe I mean that "they" are back now. They may or may not be real.

[Cherie]

Virginia, I do. Both fingers and toes.

[Virginia]

Yes, Cherie my toes too, but I wear socks in the house and to bed to combat it. It just makes my hands so much more clumsy and I don't know a way to combat that. I noticed when I went through the salad bar at Whole Foods this past Friday, it was cold here, and I had a problem picking up things such as shredded carrots and other things. It was embarrassing. I was struggling to get the tongs to come together, which made me slow and I was holding up the other people.

Virginia, I am the same. I now weigh 137 (down from 154 in May).

My friend Ann came over today and brought Mac n cheese from Panera. I put real bacon bits on it to boost the calories. It was the small one and I ate half. Tonight I had Avgolemono (Greek chicken-egg-lemon-rice soup) with saltines. I will try to get in some peanut butter and celery later and I have an Orgain peanut butter bar beside my bed as I usually wake up at 4 AM.

I sent an email to my GI doc to see if something can be done before my next appointment on 12/21.

OTOH, my mammogram was normal. :-)

[Howie]

Agate hit the mark. I stay in "Invisible Mode" all the time. I am the incredible invisible man!

[Jeanie Z]

:) So Howie is invisible. wow! We went down into the low 40's last night and I was glad I had the new heat. Andy came yesterday and put together my Christmas tree.

Today he came and put up the outside lights and put the lights, garlands and ornaments on the tree. It looks beautiful. My new friend came tonight and brought dinner and we played Rummy tiles. She is flying to Niagara Falls tomorrow for 4 days.

I have a dental appointment tomorrow but I dread going there. Ann and Cat I hope you are both feeling better. From doing the stand up sit downs and weights my legs are a little stronger and my arms slightly better. I am going to keep it up.

Lacy likes laying on the tree skirt under the tree. Her PJ's are red and so is the skirt, so she blends right in. Jeanie :)

[stillstANNding]

I’m glad your exercising is paying off, Jeanie.
